Gimmicky, pat, and just a tad too brutal at times, Imagining Argentina is a powerful statement rendered oddly ineffectual by a consistent desire to avoid controversy.
11/30/05
Despite its flaws, the film does the job in helping us imagine what that must be like for relatives and friends left behind.
08/20/04
Top CriticHampton's mixing of thriller and love story, cinematic coincidence and historical fact makes this film flawed but fascinating.
07/16/04
It's sad to see a film which, despite fine work in the various craft departments, fails to succeed on the most basic level.
06/29/04
Top CriticThe concept takes magical realism to a reductive, overtly literal level, trivializing the subject and the people the film tries so hard to memorialize.
06/10/04
Top CriticLike Life Is Beautiful before it, Imagining Argentina juxtaposes horrific images of torture and humiliation against gooey optimism and thinks it's saying something profound about human resilience in the process.

...fidgety and incomplete, as though either poorly conceived or poorly re-edited after the fact.

Hampton makes a moving job of it, with top-notch cinematography and heartfelt performances.
05/14/04
The power of the film is its roots in official truths which are already melting away.

Well-intentioned but awkwardly executed.

Honorable, but highly flawed, production.
02/17/04
It's maddening that the film is so weak, because there's a touching and seriously important story here that should have been told with power, honesty and humanity.
